    Removal of special characters

    Hello,

    Does anyone know how to remove specific character based on the wildcard selection.

    I have the first part done:

    ------------------------
    SELECT name
    FROM company
    Where name like '%,%';
    ------------------------

    Thanks for your help

    Roman

    Probably it's just me - can you be more specific of what you are trying to do.

    I am trying to remove all "," from company names.

    Example: "IBM, Inc." should be updated to "IBM Inc."


    Thanks

    update company
       set name = replace(name,',','')
